There appeared to be a smaller crowd for Jay-Z, but he was greeted by chants and cheers.

The New York hip-hop star fired up the crowd with an introduction that included a BBC interview in which Oasis star Noel Gallagher said hip-hop was “wrong” for Glastonbury.

Jay-Z then took the stage to the strains of the Oasis hit Wonderwall.

“So they say you guys didn’t want me here to be here tonight,” he said.

“They said you guys weren’t into hip-hop.” The crowd responded by chanting his name to show their support.

Thanks for all the love here tonight,” the star added, saying Glastonbury had “embraced my culture”.

“This is a beautiful moment, I’m glad to share it with each and every one of you,” he said.

The crowd went wild for the star’s hits including 99 Problems, Hard Knock Life and Encore.

He seemed to succeed in winning over the many festival-goers who were unsure about his appearance.

Indie fan James Lucas, 26, wearing a Charlatans T-shirt, said: “It wasn’t my bag – but yes, he was very, very good

“When you see people at the top of their game, it’s worth it.”

Tom O’Shea, 27, from Neath, said it marked “a new era” for the festival.

“It breaks down boundaries and he was amazing in what he did,” he said. “He’s the best rapper in the world.”

Jay-Z’s set sampled songs by U2, Estelle, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse and the Jackson Five.

But one disappointment was the lack of any surprise guests.

His wife Beyonce, Coldplay star Chris Martin, NERD’s Pharrell Williams, LinkinPark, Rihanna and Winehouse had all been rumoured to be joining him on stage.

“I don’t understand the controversy about Jay-Z,” singer Lily Allen said

I was there. Manu Chao was the man as always but Jay-Z did a great show there’s no question about that.

from glastonbury critics:
The reception Jay-Z received makes the pre-show controversy about whether a rap star should headline the festival look faintly quaint and ridiculous.

He carried most of the crowd with him for the full show, with the Pyramid Stage field a sea of waving hands during his hit Hard Knock Life near the end.

It was by far the best reception of the day.

And it was much more exciting than just another Coldplay or Radiohead slot would have been.

You need to wake up. Mugabe is an evil person and any black African leader will tell you that. Do You think Nelson Mandela likes Mugabe’s politics?
